REI MASTROGIOVANNI

ENGLISH BIO:

“Innovator of ska music”

Japanese American producer Rei Mastrogiovanni combines ska with indie rock, sample-heavy hip hop, electro synths, breakbeat rhythms, dub bass lines, and extraordinary stadium rock. Vocals are often rapped with an anthemic soulful hook.

If Phoenix, Kanye West, CSS and Fishbone decided to give birth to a new breed of ska music together, it may sound a little bit like Rei Mastrogiovanni…

Born in Osaka, Japan, raised in Oregon, USA, with a strong love for the UK, Rei has roots in various backgrounds, combining the best elements of the 3 countries to create an eclectic, cutting-edge sound.

Rei is also a DJ, international TV show host, event MC, model, interpreter, graphic designer, etc., working in various fields and countries with Tokyo as his home base.
